Hello..this guy is a Vertical Leaf Propeller Plant. Since his leaves are not close together I’m going to assume that he has done some stretching- unfortunately I realized kinda late how direct succulents prefer their light. I added grow lights but. They were added a bit too late☹️. Can the top of this guy be cut off, allowed to callous over, and be replanted? If so how much should I take off? Should I cut the piece I remove into more than one piece to replant? Thank you!!
What am I doing wrong with my Jeweled Crown? Is there anything I can do to save him or is he done for?
Can anyone help identify this plant? Thanks
So I bought my Monstera on 3/11. I haven’t watered it yet since it had already been watered the day I bought it. It’s due for another watering today, but unsure if I should because I noticed there is a thin whiteish layer of mold on top of the soil, along with a bunch of baby weeds popping up. What is the best way to repot it and get rid of the moldy soil?? Thank you!!! In the pics you can see the weeds but it’s hard to see the mold in there.
hello! i have a Bonsai tree, and it’s leaves are all falling while there still green? i water it once a week and use a foam plant food. is there something i’m doing wrong…? thank you:)
Told myself I wasn’t going to buy another calathea until I mastered care for my Freddie (that I bought last year as a complete newbie - it’s seen better days…) But a Rattlesnake caught my eye at the grocery store just now and I had to get it 😭 I have a general idea but wanted to hear from y’all…what are your calathea care tips?
Is my bonsai suppose to look this limp? I have been keeping the soil moist but it is still looking like this.
Im new and im trying to understand what’s going on with my peperomia? Just got it haven’t repotted just yet but I want to know if I need to do anything beforehand Thanks
So my birds nest fern came in a wick and grow pot. Should I change it out or keep it in there?
Some months ago I took a cutting from my big philodendron pedatum plant, tried putting it in water for roots to start but no luck so far as you can see and the end is a bit slimy. But the plant looks happy overall. 😊 Any ideas? Or will this just not work?
I keep hoping to find a treasure while I’m out and about. Maybe today was my lucky day?
*leggy fiddle leaf fig help* Hi! I’ve had this Fiddle Leaf Fig for a few years. Propagated a few plants from it and moved it outside and it’s been growing some new leaves at the top as expected. However, I want to ask if there is a way to stimulate leaf growth lower in the stem. I’ve looked online and I suspect the answer is “no” given the woody nature of the entire stem save for the top 20cm. In anticipation I’ve planted some Pothos to climb up the stem but would love to stimulate lower leaf growth if possible, advice welcome! 🤗
Any tips for helping encourage new monstera leaves to unfurl? I recently repottted mine and it’s taking a bit for the new leaf to unwrap. Thanks for the insight, friends! ❤️
Any tips on growing air plants bigger? I just bought my first ones, and I’m using a Planta-recommended watering schedule. I’ve also read it’s best to mist them lightly with an air plant fertilizer every day. But I don’t want to risk getting them too wet. Any insights?? Thanks ahead of time!
Hi all! I have a sago palm that has been struggling a bit. It isn’t dead but ever since I tried transitioning it outside(probably did this too abruptly) it has browned some and hasn’t had any new growth. Does anyone have any advice? I have recently tried repotting it as well as getting it a bit of occasional fertilizer.
About 1/3 of my dieffenbachia’s leaves have suddenly started to yellow. This happened once before late last year. Planta suggested it might have been over-fertilized and recommended I give it a shower. It appears to have happened again. There is plenty of new growth coming along, so I don’t think it’s sick. I’m wondering if anyone else has had this happen before?
My string of 🐢🐢 have these cute tiny baby leaves from so long. They were under a grow light for a month and I’ve moved to a southwest window for light. Are they slow growing plants? When do the leaves become mature / a little bigger? Am I missing something from doing here or is it just patience that I need to have 😃? Any experience you have and would be willing to share with me ? Thank you.
I’m in need of water propagation tips! Recently have had NO luck with it and keep getting no roots and stem rot. I prefer propagating in other mediums but I feel left out hahah bc it should apparently “be easy” 😭 I let my cuttings callous for a day before placing them in tap water that gets changed every week. My most recent props were placed about a foot away from a south facing window, and a couple feet away from a radiator. Any advice would be appreciated!
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong with my Money Tree. The tag that came with it said to put 2 ice cubes per week on top of its soil. I did that for quite some time and it was doing well. When I added it to my Planta app the instructions were different. I was instructed to water it like any other plant , until water runs out the drainage hole. I have sat it closer to the window. I have moved it further away. I read that they don’t like direct light. I repotted it last week I believe. My moisture reader is saying that it is moist currently. I’m pretty sure I watered it at least a week ago so I’m now wondering if the soil is too wet. Any suggestions?
